    Don't get caught out on your vacation!

    Travelling with babies and children can be quite difficult. I don’t speak from experience, but I’ve witnessed many a stressed-out mum trying to deal with a crying baby while attempting to co-ordinate her luggage and sort out a gazillion other things. Not a lot of fun.

    So if you’re travelling with your baby, you’ll be doing yourself (and no doubt your sanity) a huge favour by being to be as prepared as possible with the products you bring along with you.

    Here are five products you won’t want to leave home without:

    TRAVEL ESSENTIAL #1: Wet Ones, 1800 810 310
    Sure, they just look like simple wipes, but these conveniently-sized packs (seriously, they’re so compact they can fit in your handbag) can be used on almost any occasion to clean up your little one and remove germs when you can’t get to a bathroom. Use them at the beach to clean a sandy body and sticky hands, or to clean up the ice-cream that’s all over your baby’s face. Wherever you are, whatever the occasion, you’ll be happy you brought these wipes along with you.  

    TRAVEL ESSENTIAL #2: GAIA Mini Traveller
    Travelling with full-sized products can be annoying (not to mention heavy), so create extra room in your bag by packing travel-sized products for you and your baby. Containing a shampoo, bath and body wash, and moisturiser, this travelling kit has all the essential bath products you’ll need for you and your baby while on holiday. Another bonus? The bag these products come in is just the right size to carry around in your nappy-bag, so you can fill it with other essentials when you’re out and about during the day.

    TRAVEL ESSENTIAL #3: Avene Very High Protection Sunscreen Cream SPF 30+
    If you’re jetting off on a holiday full of sun and sand, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got a sunscreen that’ll not only protect your baby from harsh UV rays, but be kind and gentle on their delicate skin, too. This Avene sunscreen has been designed to offer maximum protection for even the most sensitive skin types – including kids and babies (over six months old, that is). And the best part is, you can use it on yourself too, so no need to cart around two different sunscreens.

    TRAVEL ESSENTIAL #4: Olive Baby Nappy Rash Cream
    A baby with nappy rash is an unhappy baby, so make sure you’ve got some effective nappy rash cream on hand. The delicate formulation of the Olive cream contains natural plant extracts picked specifically for their anti-inflammatory and hydrating properties, as well as jojoba oil, extra virgin live oil, olive leaf extract, aloe vera, and vitamin E to keep your bub’s butt softer than…err… a baby’s bottom.

    TRAVEL ESSENTIAL #5: Vicks Baby Balsam
    A vacation can’t always mean a vacation away from life’s little hiccups – like your baby getting sick. So it’s always a good idea to pack some products to help soothe a stuffy baby. Vicks Baby Balsam combines eucalyptus, rosemary, and lavender to help soothe and calm any blocked noses or stuffiness, making sure you and your little one you can get the rest you need on your holiday.

    What essentials do you pack when travelling with a baby or children? Do you have a bad travelling-with-baby story?

    I have used spell casting to get my ex husband back to me and also get pregnant with twins girls through the help of a great and trusted spell caster after 12 years of marriage.

    When I came online last year, I met a testimony about Priest ODUNGA who has been helping people and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at (odungaspelltemple@gmail.com) and later he gave me his Whats App number which is +2348167159012 and he assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. My husband left me because I was unable to give him a child for 9 years after our marriage. There was no contact between us anymore and I didn't know how to get to him. Priest Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contacting Priest Odunga. Soon I received a herbal medicine for fertility from this man, I became fertile. I and my husband reconnected that very week, had sex and I became pregnant. Today, I am happy today to be the mother of twins girls and this is ALL THANKS TO PRIEST ODUNGA. I came online to say this If you need help, I believe you are saved with this spell caster. Contact his email at (odungaspelltemple@gmail.com) and you too will give a testimony too to help others

    I wouldn't bother with the mini gaia pack. I prefer to take sample packs with me as there normally sachets so less space taken up

    Blink182 7 Feb 2013 4:04 AM

    Nice!

    Cheapohippo 5 Feb 2013 3:44 AM

    what's the difference between Wet Ones and normal baby wipes??

    DEMELZA240 15 Dec 2012 11:09 AM

    my 5 things are, extra clothes, nappies, bottle + formula + water and jug for heating, ( very hard to heat a bottle anywhere these days) blanket (tassie weather) everything else is a bonus if i remember lol !!!

    Shop A Everyday 15 Dec 2012 10:23 AM

    very nice products

    saltine 15 Dec 2012 6:03 AM

    Naw babies. I'm not a mum but yes I do have a bad travelling with "baby" story. 14 constant hours on a plane stuck with a whining child. UGHHH.

    Estewart 14 Dec 2012 8:06 AM

    Looks like some very nifty products!

    HMad 14 Dec 2012 6:06 AM

    Spare dummies! If you bub uses them... My litte girl always manages to spit hers onto the ground and can remove the little clip and chain thing that saves them from falling.

    I haven't really travelled with bubs yet but I had to go to the hair salon and had no one to look after her for me. She wouldn't go to sleep in her pram and we were there for 3 hours. The nail technician spent half the time carrying her around and rocking her while my hair was being cut, coloured and blowdried!

    Nessabella 14 Dec 2012 12:18 AM

    Wipes are so important for mums and their bubs. I always have them handy :)

    Ssajwani 13 Dec 2012 2:04 PM

    no child as yet :) but great tips bh :)

    joburkey 13 Dec 2012 3:20 AM

    I was on the look out for a good baby sunscreen, i'm definietly going to try the Avene

    Morrigan 13 Dec 2012 2:51 AM

    The Avene sunscreen looks really tempting, will probably get it next time I'm in the shops!

    Essential stuff I always have with me no matter what is the nappy bag (of course) which has pretty much everything I need. I don't go anywhere without it, even short trips to shops or downtown.

    Hand sanitiser, wipes, change of clothes, formula + bottles, toys, hats, sunscreen, bibs, tiny bottle of detergent + bottle brush, first aid kit etc... Now double all that because I have twins and a 4.5 year old as well :) Makes me feel like I'm going camping every time I get out of the house!

    PrettyPrincess 12 Dec 2012 9:59 PM

    Wipes are definitely needed for baby and mum ( good for a pre-cleanse!)

    cosmoslyn 12 Dec 2012 12:42 AM

    i don't mean to sound mean ( I have a newborn) but I think we should travel with at least another adult to help out when needed. Imagine trying to do everything alone!! I think another travel essential is a partner.

    Chicklet 11 Dec 2012 2:47 PM

    Probably easier not to travel with littlies if you can avoid it!

    Nda 11 Dec 2012 9:55 AM

    Am on the lookout for a good sunscreen, like the look of the avene one :)

    Tinaaa 11 Dec 2012 9:44 AM

    i dont have a child but i too cant live without baby wipes lol :)

    CherryBlossom 11 Dec 2012 9:19 AM

    Nice tips and love the cute size of the baby friendly GAIA bottles.

    Jenniqua 11 Dec 2012 4:32 AM

    I wish I had a child to be frantic about, but not just yet for me.

    Jsomara 11 Dec 2012 3:59 AM

    Wipes Wipes and more Wipes...you can't have enough of them. I also pack extra clothes and formula just in case. Those number three's always seem to occur when we are out and about.

    Bkz1 11 Dec 2012 12:35 AM

    Great tips - I don't have kids but could imagine that these tips would assist in taking a holiday with them less draining :)
